Note:
This recording initially popped up incomplete on "Heute Abend", with it's last three tracks.
It eventually showed up in complete form on the internet. There is also an alternate
incomplete recording that I will post alongside this one.

In regards to sound quality, it's okay. Everything is captured fine, audience noise doesn't
distract for much of it, and is listenable. The big issue here is that it's on the wrong pitch,
making it run too fast. I tried editing it, but it became apparent that the pitch lowered a
small bit throughout, which would've made it inconsistent and sound worse. I decided to
keep it as is, especially when there is another source. Still, there are worse recordings out
there, so it's not that bad. The one thing I do appreciate about the recording though is how
the drums really stand out in a lot of places.

About the other source (since that uses the original text file it came with), I'm not sure if
it's much better. While it's definitely closer to the speaker, it's a bit too overloaded, as
well as also suffering a pitch problem, though not as bad. It all depends on what you think.

It's hard for me to do an exact recommend on this. While it's not bad, there are better
recordings from the July 1991 shows (like the ones I posted). I would say though that
you will miss out on an excellant performance of "Music Non Stop", featuring Fernando's
best solo. This also includes that infamous version of "The Model" that really changes the
meaning of the song ("Now she's a big success, I want to **** her again"). Again, it's your
choice on whether this is a worthy download. Just hear for yourself and decide.
